Putting It On

Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
Stop putting it on
Another pride thing for me to swallow
Mind games bringing me down
Another time spent, waste it tomorrow
Make sense; put your feet on the ground
You gotta
Stop - burning up inside
Stop - look around, decide
Stop - don't be kidding yourself
Stop (stop) - and think (think)
And stop (stop) - and think (think)
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
Stop putting it on
You been downsized too many times
You'd better wake up and see the divide
And if the breakdown leaves you alone
It ain't the first time been trouble at home
You gotta
Stop - burning up inside
Stop - look around, decide
Stop - don't be kidding yourself
Stop (stop) - and think (think)
And stop (stop) - and think (think)
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
See me eating my heart
See the whole thing falling apart
Everything you learned at the start
Are the things that tore you apart
We'd better leave it
We'd better leave it
We'd better leave it
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
Did you listen to your mother?
To your sister or your brothers?
Were you there for one another?
Not putting it on
Just a lack of conversation
Only adds to the frustration
Never reach a destination
Stop putting it on
Stop putting it on
